#1: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Jaeger, Location: UKPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 3:23 pm ---- I love my 2.0 HDi so I thought it’s time I start doing some work and make it look even better.
Once the time is right and I have picked up enough info (as I’m still a noob!) I will also like to tune it up.
I will be uploading pix as I do anything.
Here it was yesterday:
The only thing I added was the GTi Carbon mirror covers:
A new addition to my HDi is a set of 206 17’’ GTI 180 Alloys Wheels, fitted them myself today.
I think they look sweet compared to the boring 15’’!
I will need new caps, anyone have a spare...16?!
Here are some pix of them fitted:

Looking great so far
#3: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 3:32 pm ---- The 15" alloys are nice still lol and the vortex looks great on your car. Maybe next thing to do is lower it more,colour code the bumpers and get yourself a newer rear lights maybe PH2.
#4: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 3:53 pm ---- I've got 2 sets of the plastic chrome caps, drop me a PM if you are interested.

#9: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: hayes_ctfc, Location: CheltenhamPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 8:07 am ---- I don't care what anyone says, but I prefer Ph 1 rear lights and boot strips to Ph2
#10: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: hayes_ctfc, Location: CheltenhamPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 8:07 am ---- Lovely looking car btw, cracking colour!
#11: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Jaeger, Location: UKPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 11:17 am ---- Thanks for the replies.
Now to answer some of your questions:
About the rear light, I prefer ph1 over the ph2 but I just got a set of Ecosse Crystal should get them soon so that answers the question about changing them! It will be done, unless I suck at it and have to ask you guys for advise!
Wheel caps are off the 15'' set so that's why they stick out, don't worry I did them up tight!!
And yes I was thinking of lowering it a little too as it's sitting quite high atm.
#12: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 1:05 pm ---- Pretty sure the bolts shouldn't stick out that far though mate, i'd definitely be buying a new set of bolts asap - it just doesn't look safe.
Couldn't even see my bolts tbh when I had my vortex' fitted unless you were looking directly at the wheels.

As long as theyre alloy wheel bolts it shouldnt make a difference, but as everyone has said, ive never seen them stick out that far before lol
#14: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Jaeger, Location: UKPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 11:05 pm ---- Guys, the bolts went in plenty far!
The GTi 17'' alloys are concave in while the HDi 15'' are convex.
The 15'' caps are DEEP so that's why they stick out, I'm sure!
I am looking for GTi caps as we speak.
#15: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Jaeger, Location: UKPosted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 3:51 pm ---- Here are the new items I fitted while doing some minor work on the car:
And yes I cleaned it twice in the past week! It's still wet here.
Ecosse Rear Lights:
SP Bonnet Grill:
SP Upper Grill:
Finally, HDi Engine Cover:
I just found some heavy duty bolts for it had it lying around since winter last year...
Will need a Battery Cover too...
#16: Re: Jaeger’s 2.0 HDi D TURBO Upgrade(s) Author: Jaeger, Location: UKPosted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 1:53 pm ---- I finally found a spare day to get the Angel lights installed!
But I was NOT, I repeat NOT easy!
I messed around with them for a few hours yesterday...worth it!
Today, I had to file, cut, rewire and basically modify a few thing to make them fit where I wanted them.
I removed the standard head lights and taped up the plus I won't need so they don't corrode...
I cut the side light plug so it fits in to the awkward position .
I was gonna use a choc-block to connect the side lights/halos to the main wires but couldn't find any so soldered and taped it, will mod it when I find some and have the time.
These lights look so sinister!
After it's fortnight shower!
I am very frickin happy with them!!!
I hope I get some comments this time as no one said anything about my grills and ecosse lights...
